Moses and Joshua
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
Moses was a man of God,
Man of God, man of God.
Moses was a man of God,
A humble man was he.
Joshua was a man of God,
Man of God, man of God,
Joshua was a man of God,
A mighty soldier was he.
Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho
Tune: traditional
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumbling down.
Seven days they marched around Jericho,
Jericho, Jericho,
Seven days they marched around Jericho,
And the walls came tumbling down.
Right up to the walls of Jericho
They marched with spear in hand;
“Go blow them ram horns,” Joshua cried,
“Cause the battle is in my hand.”
Then the lamb ram sheep horns
began to blow
And the trumpets began to sound
Joshua told the children to shout that morning
And the walls came tumbling down!
Joshua and the Walls of Jericho
Tune: To the Work
Jericho, Jericho, the wall of Jericho,
“It will fall! It will fall!”
O Joshua was told,
They must march once a day,
Until six days are passed,
Then go ‘round seven times,
And the ram’s horn will blast.
Chorus:
Marching on, marching on.
Marching on, marching on.
They did march, they did shout!
And the walls came tumbling down.
Walls of Jericho
Tune: She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain
We’ll go once around the city for 6 days!
(Shh! Shh!)
We’ll go once around the city for 6 days!
(Shh! Shh!)
We’ll go once around the city,
We’ll go once around the city,
We’ll go once around the city for 6 days!
(Shh! Shh!)
On the 7th we’ll go round it seven times!
(Shh! Shh!)
On the 7th we’ll go round it seven times!
(Shh! Shh!)
On the 7th we’ll go round it,
On the 7th we’ll go round it,
On the 7th we’ll go round it seven times!
(Crash! Bang!)
What Made the Walls of Jericho fall?
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
What made the walls of Jericho fall?
Jericho fall? Jericho fall?
What made the walls of Jericho fall?
God told the Israelites how.
Once each day for 6 long days,
Six long days, six long days
Once each day for six long days,
They marched around the city.
Seven times on the 7th day,
Seven times on the 7th day,
Seven times on the 7th day,
They marched around the city.
Then the walls of Jericho fell,
Jericho fell, Jericho fell,
Then the walls of Jericho fell,
God told the Israelites how.
Joshua Got a Plan from God
Tune: London Bridge
By Kim Dailey, treat as public domain
Joshua got a plan from God,
plan from God, plan from God.
Joshua got a plan from God, Hallelujah!
Israel marched around the wall,
’round the wall, ’round the wall.
Israel marched around the wall, Hallelujah!
Seven priests blew seven horns,
seven horns, seven horns.
Seven priests blew seven horns, Hallelujah!
All of Israel gave a shout,
gave a shout, gave a shout.
All of Israel gave a shout, Hallelujah!
Jericho’s walls came falling down,
falling down, falling down.
Jericho’s walls came falling down, Hallelujah!
Rahab saved her family,
family, family.
Rahab saved her family, Hallelujah!
Round the Walls of Jericho
Tune: Mulberry Bush
Round the walls of Jericho
Round the walls of Jericho
Round the walls of Jericho
The army went.
Once a day for six days
Once a day for six days
Once a day for six days
The army went.
Seven times on the seventh day
Seven times on the seventh day
Seven times on the seventh day
The army went.
Then the people gave a SHOUT
Then the people gave a SHOUT
Then the people gave a SHOUT
And the walls fell down.
Jericho March
Tune: Skip to My Lou
March, march around Jericho!
March, march around Jericho!
March, march around Jericho!
Watch the walls fall down (fall down).
O When We March
Tune: When The Saints Come Marching In
O when we march around the wall,
O when we march around the wall,
We know our God will give us victory,
When we march around the wall.
Oh when we blow our trumpets loud,
Oh when we blow our trumpets loud,
We know our God will give us victory,
When we blow our trumpets loud.
I’m in the Lord’s Army
Tune: traditional
I may never march in the infantry,
Ride in the cavalry,
Shoot the artillery,
I may never fly o’er the enemy,
But I’m in the Lord’s army! Yes, sir!
I’m in the Lord’s army! Yes, sir!
I’m in the Lord’s army! Yes, sir!
I may never march in the infantry,
Ride in the cavalry,
Shoot the artillery,
I may never fly o’er the enemy,
But I’m in the Lord’s army! Yes, sir!

Choose your way today.

We will serve the Lord.”
